UNiCON invites our members and other construction industry professionals across the Finger Lakes region to show your support by taking a stand on National Overdose Awareness Day.
Monday, August 31st at 9:15 a.m. we invite you to host a Toolbox Talk on Opioid Awareness as part of the regional Opioid Awareness Stand Down which is happening in conjunction with the National Overdose Awareness Day. Contractors across the Finger Lakes region will be hosting this stand down at their jobsites. Follow along by using #OverdoseAware #OpioidStandDownFLX
This is a great way to show that we as an industry understand the unique risk our workers face when it comes to opioid addiction and that we want to help! Construction Trust FLX (CCET) has developed an entire free Toolbox Talk for your use. All you need to do is go to their website and view the resources. You can even direct employees the day of the event to view the website and follow along with the talk and listen to the informative videos from their phones.
Within the Toolbox is also a leaflet that employers can keep on the job site and in the office with resources both for HR if they have questions on how to handle HR issues around the crisis, and information for workers on where to go for help if they, their friends, or loved ones are battling addiction.
Please feel free to reach out if you’d like hard copies of any of the materials for your Stand Down!
